For all the music theory people out there the hirojoshi is based off the natural minor scale but can be also substituted into harmonic minor and hungarian minor playing
Man i have been using this mode for a long time and haven’t even realized it, and this video will surely help me get a better understanding of it thank you so much
I needed this lesson, but I didn't even know that I needed it until today! Thanks! I'd love a lesson on slide guitar as I cannot get the technique down to save my life, but if that ain't your thing, it's all good! I will watch your lessons anyway, lol.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) You are correct, slide guitar is not something I play or teach, but if you liked this video, check out more free video guitar lessons here: tomhess.net/FreeVideoGuitarLessons.aspx
If I'm getting this order right..... 1st hirajoshi mode: Minor/aeolian 2nd: locrian/diminished (also minor) 3rd: major/ionian 4th: Minor/Dorian substitute? (not totally dorian by the looks?) 5th: lydian/major I noticed there isn't substitute for Phrygian and Mixolydian? Maybe no need for them... that 4th mode 5 note octave pattern you showed seems to cover them from what I'm gathering. Thanks for this video :)
To practice like in the video, focus on the concepts I talk about in terms of using the scale in music. :) You can use the hirajoshi scale over any backing track in any natural minor or harmonic minor key.
This Guitar Scale is awe.... And I love Jason Becker music... Hey Tom can you do a video just like this But with The Harmonic Minor...........SCALES ....PLZ thank man... You are AWE...........
I don't understand your question, Emma. You can play part of the scale or the whole scale. You can create a song or solo out of this scale too. Nobody is saying you can't :)

Thanks for sharing the knowledge as well as practicing tips, Tom!
My pleasure, Sammy! :)
This scale is sick, definitely adding to the arsenal.
Listen to Weeping China doll by Steve vai to hear this in action
I use this for the pentatonic phrygian mode... great scale...
Btw if you want the whole scale to connect, in mode 4 you can play the shape (If your root is B) 6: 2-3, 5: 2-4, 4: 0-4, 3: 0-4, 2: 2-3, 1: 2-3
Man i have been using this mode for a long time and haven’t even realized it, and this video will surely help me get a better understanding of it thank you so much
I would like to recommend the band ONMYOUZA they incorporate japanese music modes in a heavy metal context. Check them out
What a cool sound!
I immediately thought of George Lynch upon hearing your licks
How About an alex skolnic lesson? Him and Marty are my favorites.
Intervals: T 2M 3m 5J 6m
Right??
Amazing tips and teaching 👏👏
I finally found out how my fav scale is called
what about harmonizing the scale with the chords tho?
It is interseting that this all modes are also ethiopian scales(unique one's)
Awesome video! Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
This is my favorite scale. I appreciate this video :) Anytime I’m going for a Lydian sound I play with this scale first.
This scale is in megadeath in the eye of the tornado song
This is the same scale as the Ethiopian Tizita minor scale!
Cool man! Loved this✊🏾Cheers from nz

The real jem here is the picking instruction. Thanks a lot for this great video
This is an awesome lesson! This is my first time hearing about this scale. The format of the lesson is perfect. Thank you!
Thank you Tom. I hear Marty all over this scale. 🤘
this sounds very similar to Javanese scales, I wonder if they are derived from the same historical root.
The direction picking stuff is really cool
very beautiful this sound
I feel like some really cool spy movie scores could be made with this scale
Could someone tell me where to get this backing track? or what the notes are
like the scale in Indonesia (sundanese)
What key are the shapes he has showed ???
Love the Hirajoshi scale! Very cool sound!
:)
Wow very cool sound
I’ve never been more infatuated with a scale as I am now
Wow... Can't wait to try those licks...Thank you Tom Hess... Please make more videos on how to use Melodic minor scale and modes in songs...

Thanks Tom, I'd like to practice like in the video. Link to the backing track you used?
To practice like in the video, focus on the concepts I talk about in terms of using the scale in music. :) You can use the hirajoshi scale over any backing track in any natural minor or harmonic minor key.
Badass tone bro!
Great👹
I'm going to practice these scales, and reward myself with Sushi afterward 😋

Is there a topic on making your own licks on Scales? I was told I could do simple licks but I still don't know how.
Also very interesting video!

But why play almost the hole scale ? Why not making a song with a part of this scale and using more rhythm :-)
I don't understand your question, Emma. You can play part of the scale or the whole scale. You can create a song or solo out of this scale too. Nobody is saying you can't :)
